This paper discusses strategies for developing desirable qualities among the employees of Nepal's Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) based on the premise that these employees will in turn be training key elements of the wider workforce and so play a critical role in the development strategies of the country. Five determining factors are identified: training, leadership style, autonomy, communication, and organisational culture.

The author asserts that: (1) training, both pre-service and on-the-job should emphasise information access capabilities through incentives; (2) leadership styles should be cordial, warm, and enabling rather than coercive and autocratic; (3) a judicious balance must be struck between encouraging autonomy in individuals and closer supervision in order to build employees' capacity; (4) there should be a free flow of information through the organisation; and (5) an organisational culture of mutual co-existence, collegiate relationships, and humanistic behaviour should be developed.
